Ghetts - On A Level (Remix) (Feat. Kano, Wretch 32 & Scorcher)

Ghetts calls on Kano, Wretch 32 & Scorcher for the remix of his latest single, On A Level, which was released today on iTunes.

Lupe Fiasco - American Terrorist III

Lupe took to his Twitter late last night and let loose 'American Terrorist III', which is nothing short of mind-blowing and hopefully a sign that Food & Liquor II is on the way. Praise the Lord.

Maverick Sabre - Lonely Are The Brave (Album Sampler)

After following Maverick Sabre closely for the past two years, it's safe to say I'm been rather excited to hear his debut album, which is set to be released on February 6th 2012. Well, now we are one step closer to the release of that album with this sampler that Maverick uploaded to his YouTube channel earlier today. From what I've heard, it reminds me of Plan B's sophmore album (The Defamation of Strickland Banks) but with a lot more soul and heart, which can only be a good thing. Actually can't wait for this.

Slick Rick - Need Some Bad (Prod. DJ Premier)

Two Hip-Hop greats team up for this massive track, which will feature on the forthcoming Jonah Hill starring comedy 'The Sitter'. Sounds like The Ruler hasn't fallen back on his level of flow or lyricism, and hopefully this means a new album is on the way - 2012 could be THE ONE.

Common - The Believer (Feat. John Legend)

After blessing us with three cuts from his forthcoming album, The Dreamer The Believer, Common has now let loose this beautiful piece of Hip-Hop, which features fellow G.O.O.D. Music signee John Legend. Safe to say this album is going to be pretty special - you can get your copy on December 20th.

Wretch 32 & Ed Sheeran - Hush Little Baby (Live @ Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball)

During Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 Arena last night, Wretch 32 brought Ed Sheeran to the stage to perform one of my favouurite tracks from his brilliant sophmore album, Black & White. A top performance from two of the stand-out artists of 2011.

Kidz In The Hall - Make It Up Tonight (Feat. Sulaiman) x I Swear (Feat. Vic Spencer)

Following their 2010 release, Land of Make Believe, Chicago-born duo Kidz In The Hall are back with their 4th studio album, Occasion. The album is all about having fun, which is a concept that works for Naledge & Double-O, and probably makes for their most enjoyable album to date.

The Roots - The Other Side x Lighthouse

Two of my favourite tracks from the first conceptually-based album by The Roots. Undun quickly reaffirms the creativity of the outfit that are notorious for pushing the envelope. Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilising a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun. You need to listen to this in full, it's a masterpiece, from one of the greatest groups of all-time. Available December 6th.
